they want to do insider trading, send out scam emails to raise money to give to their consultant friends, & otherwise just kinda occupy space to prevent things from changing. as far as they even have an opinion about trump hurting poor people and foreigners, it's as an excuse for more scam emails

Ah here. The 10 o’clock news on BBV Radio 4 is leading with ‘JD Vance has described a woman shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota as a deranged leftist carrying out a terrorist attack’
This is not public service broadcasting

So far the BBC’s coverage of the Minnesota killing seems really, really off
Get Verify to verify what happened - NYT, Bellingcat etc already have - and report that

Evan Davis faux scratching his head on PM as to how there can be such different interpretations of clearly documented incidents (the shooting in Minnesota), right after platforming someone from the Heritage Foundation giving a deliberately false interpretation of events, barely challenged.

i really have to drive home the point that this is not just me doing abstract feel good rhetoric for the sake of artists. if we want an actual alternative to the current fascist reality, art is going to have to play an extremely important role in that... and it's time to start formulating that now

not just rolled over. eagerly embraced. hated its Jewish population. had welcomed in theory, had preached in Church as philosophy what the Nazis enacted in practice.
that is how Israel came to exist. the Zionist minority were able to say to the traumatised survivors: "we were right, you see".

Whatever trajectory Labour is currently on, you know it absolutely will not change because those tinpot authoritarians only modify their policies for the rich while everyone else is just blasted with "IF YOU OPPOSE THIS THEN THAT JUST MEANS WE DIDN'T EXPLAIN IT LOUDLY AND INSULTINGLY ENOUGH"
Predictions for British politics in 2026 will be even tougher than usual because I think we are potentially near inflection points for both Lab and Con - if current steep declines continue, that will soon provoke leadership crisis/challenge which will change poll dynamics.
A reminder of yesterday's post reviewing last year's Christmas predictions for 2025. I will start a new prediction thread for 2026 about a week from now. If there's a prediction you'd like me to make, post it in the replies here!

Stranger Things' final season releasing in chunks with the finale being the last one and also being offered theatrically is very funny to me. Netflix bumbles into figuring out that spreading a show out keeps the conversation alive and that you can get money from people going theaters

Many are against solar fields because of the look. There's no natural beauty.
Our countryside only looks the way it does because of farming. It's already unnatural.
Before that, it was largely woodland.
Let's have solar farms, but put some trees around.
Then they'd look like woods.
